When in Doubt, Smear

It is not clear what crimes were traced to guns sold through Mr. Clyde’s stores, or whether his businesses have been cited for violations that could be used to revoke their licenses. [More]

But we’re going to smear him anyway and leave an impression of corruption, crime, and conflict of interest because that’s what serves our purposes.

‘Ghost Gun’ Piece Hardly the First National Review Second Amendment ‘Fail’

What’s harder to know is why any gun owner who believes in rights as articulated by the Founders would give defeatist and wrong-headed frauds the time of day, let alone be influenced by their equivocations. [More]

I wouldn’t look to these people for freedom.

I Need You Badly, Badly, Madam Librarian

New York State Public Library Bows to Bullies, Cancels Appearance by Author Jack Cashill [More]

Because real reporting is offensive, wrong-thinking is punishable, and who better to decide what we can be exposed to than Marxists with their snouts in the public trough?

Besides, they have other priorities.

That’s what happens when the prohibitionist busybody hens take over.

I juxtapose this against an email I just received from the “Society of Professional Journalists” touting their convention in Las Vegas next month, where heady matters of DSM interest will include “Diversity in Your Reporting and Newsroom” and a featured luminary will be honored for being “the first Latina sideline reporter for ‘Monday Night Football.'”

Is it really unfair to wonder how many of the attendees could pass a high school algebra class — or start a lawnmower?

Headline ‘News’

Firearms killed a record number of children in 2021, study finds [More]

All by their own selves… and “children”…

See, start out with two big lies and your low-information mind control volunteers will be primed to absorb the rest without question.

It’s almost like NBC News has a thing for fraud

I guess when they’re losing influence, they need to become more and more hysterical to get the attention they need to survive.

Only in the Minds of Racists Like Ed Pilkington

Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney in Georgia who is prosecuting Donald Trump and 18 other allies over efforts to overturn the 2020 election, is facing a flurry of racist online abuse after the former president attacked his opponents using the word “riggers”, a thinly veiled play on the N-word. [More]

Note what this is filed under. They presume to read (more like invent) intent — and convict on that.

Just like “find the votes.”

That’s why I call these tools the DSM.

Ol’ Ed would get along famously with Marshall Brown.

The Finest Ads Money Doesn’t Need to Buy

Major gun safety groups come together to endorse Joe Biden for president in 2024 [More]

“Gun safety.” Guzzle that Kool-Aid, “real reporters” SEUNG MIN KIM AND COLLEEN LONG. Even the url is hysterical propaganda.

Look for homicides to go nowhere but up.

As long as GIGO is the rule, the transition to AI should be seamless.

Wrong Thinking is Punishable

Last month Padden, now 74 and retired, joined with a nonprofit group called the Media and Democracy Project (MAP) to urge the Federal Communications Commission to deny Fox’s renewal of its license to operate one of its largest stations, WTXF in Philadelphia, known as Fox29. Padden and MAP argue that Fox lacks the “character” required by the FCC to be a license holder, because of post-election misinformation spread by another company entity: Fox News.

“Fox has undermined our democracy and has radicalized a segment of our population by presenting knowingly false narratives about the legitimacy of the 2020 election,” Padden wrote in a statement supporting MAP’s petition, which accuses Fox of “intentional, knowing news distortion.” [More]

Purge the DSM! There can be only one!

Hey, if it’s good enough for Kim Jong Un…

I’m no Faux News loyalist, but anyone who doesn’t see what evil monsters those behind this are is oblivious to their own proximity to the lime pit when they’re no longer useful.

Survey SAYS…

Several policy proposals that would further restrict access to guns or ammunition continue to receive support from majorities of Americans. Smaller shares of Americans support several more permissive policy proposals. [More]

The Heirs of Liberty

How do you get rid of guns legally in Iowa? And what provisions are in place to reduce the odds Grandpa’s pistol doesn’t fall into the wrong hands and isn’t used in a crime down the road? [More]

You’ll note the best way to do that — consider what Grandpa knew that you don’t and then learn how to use it — is nowhere mentioned.

Who thinks that’s not deliberate?

Access to Choice

What these and other recent mass shootings share in common is they all involve suspects in their teens, highlighting what can be a deadly mix of teenage bravado and impulsiveness with access to guns. [More]

Funny. Not a word about what really produces and sustains such aberrations unfit to live in a free society and allows them to flourish.

What can I say but “Associated Press“? And “DSM“?

And despite the overt attempt to convince the voting public otherwise, the problem is not — and has never been — “easy access.”
